OSH BAROMETER Data Visualisation tool Status of Occupational Safety and Health in the European Union ACSH 4 th Workshop on National Strategies on 15 th & 16 th October 2018 in Luxembourg Safety and health at work is everyone’s concern. It’s good for you. It’s good for business. Lothar Lieck Senior Project Manager EU-OSHA http: //osha. europa. eu 1
Introduction: Objectives, collaborators and development Objectives Design and develop a reliable and stable information system on OSH in Europe, based on data of the relevant national and European data providers. The system provides up-to-date online information for all interested parties and stakeholders about the status of OSH in the European Union Every three years EU-OSHA will prepare an analytical report based on these data. Collaborators DG Employment National contact points in Member States Data providers and data holding EU institutions (Eurostat, Eurofound, EU-OSHA itself, etc. ) Data providers and data holding institutions in Member States http: //osha. europa. eu 2
Introduction: Objectives, collaborators and development Visualisations Design in line with other EUOSHA tools (Ageing workforce, Costs and benefits, ESENER). Following common principles like agile design, colour selection etc. Visually and structurally harmonised descriptions of all Member States for all indicators, particularly the qualitative data (national Visualisation is not only a graphical exercise but requires substantial decisions: Selection of data to be presented. Combination of different data sets. strategies, social dialogue) Compare function when useful: Comparison of Member States or Member States and the EU-level. Major messages can be very much influenced by data selection and data presentation. http: //osha. europa. eu 3
Introduction: Pilot version and complete tool Up to January 2018 EU–OSHA completed the visualisation of two indicators: work accidents and national strategies. In 2019 EU-OSHA plans to visualise the pending 12 additional indicators in 4 groups. This document includes the 1 st draft version of the complete tool.

Generic information OSH authorities Institution type OSH authorities Compensation and insurance bodies Prevention institute Standardization bodies Country Austria Cyprus Belgium Bulgaria Croatia Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection (Bundesministerium für Arbeit, Soziales, Gesundheit und Konsumentenschutz) OSH authority See more in its website and in OSHwiki The competent authority in OSH matters is the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection. It is responsible for most employment related issues, namely: social security (insurance for pensions and unemployment), industrial relations, labour market policy, labour conditions and inspections, statistics, OSH, and vocational training. Country infrastructure Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Labour inspectorate (Arbeitsinpektion) Germany OSH authority Greece See more in its website and in OSHwiki The general Labour Inspectorate (Arbeitsinspektion) is by far the largest of those bodies that have been installed to monitor safety and health of the employees. It covers industries, services, the public sector, and transport - following the July 2012 merger with Inspectorate of Transport. It is centralised and acts nationwide through 16 regional departments and one central office. Newly recruited inspectors follow a two-year training programme, with the emphasis on legislation and general OSH principles. At level of the Federal States, nine regional Labour Inspectorates for Agriculture and Forestry are installed.
